Isak has been struggling for fitness since making a summer switch from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record fee of £125million. After a limited pre-season‚ most of which was spent forcing the move to Anfield‚ the Swede has picked up a number of niggling injuries and has struggled to kickstart his career in Merseyside.

JAMES SHARPE: In another life‚ one where everyone followed the script‚ Vinicius Junior is king of the world. A year ago‚ the Brazilian superstar did not envisage throwing tantrums at being substituted‚ threating to leave Real Madrid‚ and later issuing a grovelling apology. Nor did he imagine spending a lonely night at Anfield nestled in the pocket of Liverpool full-back Conor Bradley. A year ago‚ he was going to win the Ballon d'Or. He had led Real to the league and European double. He was going to be named the best footballer on the planet. He knew it‚ everyone knew it. Rio Ferdinand‚ repeating it into his microphone like a child's talking action figure with a broken pull string‚ certainly knew it when Vini Jr scored Real's second in the Champions League final.

LEWIS STEELE AT ANFIELD: Liverpool once again got one over on Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday night‚ suggesting that the Reds may well have turned a corner after their disastrous run.

Arsene Wenger has shared fresh details behind Florian Wirtz's £116million move to Liverpool over the summer‚ claiming that one demand made by the German has led to the Reds 'destroying their midfield'. The Premier League champions won the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen's star midfielder during the summer window‚ setting a new British record transfer fee before breaking it again with the £125m signing of Alexander Isak on deadline day. Wirtz‚ who was also heavily pursued by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich over the summer‚ has struggled to hit the ground running at Anfield so far‚ failing to register a single goal or assist from 10 matches in all competitions.
Liverpool fans labelled ‘disgusting' and ‘lame' for Trent Alexander-Arnold reception on Anfield return
Virgil van Dijk had no interest in lingering on the subject of his former team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold‚ offering a curt response when Theo Walcott brought him up during their post-match interview.

Alexander-Arnold's summer departure had caused a backlash from the Liverpool fanbase‚ with many angry that the full back had let his contract run down‚ preventing the club from garnering a significant fee. He would ultimately complete a £10m move with Real Madrid opting to sign him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Romanian referee Istvan Kovacs was sent to the VAR monitor after initially giving a free kick‚ and Anfield waited in anticipation and expectation of a penalty. When the official blew his whistle‚ however‚ he in fact changed his mind on the handball entirely. Instead‚ he adjudged that there was no handball offence at all‚ and instead gave a drop ball to Madrid.
